根据这篇报道，“工业流程和能源市场情报提供商 Industrial Info Resources 的数据显示，近年来炼油意外中断激增，2019 年事故数量超过 2,000 起，是 2015 年水平的四倍。”

The heightened risk comes after a series of high-profile accidents, including several explosions at petrochemical plants in Texas and last year’s blaze that shut the Philadelphia Energy Solutions refinery.

然后保险公司在大量赔付后的应对是减少保险项目和增加保费：
2 O! N9 f' ^, ], I“据保险业消息人士称，AIG 和 CV Starr 等拥有大量能源风险的保险公司正在通过减少总体保险能力或减少风险来应对。”* {8 X/ }/ j9 t
Insurance companies with sizable energy exposure such as AIG and CV Starr are responding by offering less overall insurance capacity or reducing exposure, according to insurance industry sources.
8 P3 q0 N( E, Y' o2 [“保险公司将承保成本增加了 25% 至 100%，具体取决于多种因素，包括保险公司根据损失历史进行的风险评估。 一些炼油厂的应对措施是限制其覆盖范围。”' C7 g) N" s; p
Insurers have increased the cost of coverage by 25 percent to 100 percent, depending on a variety of factors including the insurer’s assessment of risk based on a history of losses. Some refiners are responding by curbing their coverage.

* @4 `1 P+ O5 f8 @# Z“Refiners are choosing to buy coverage for only 90, 80, 70% of their total asset value in response to insurance rate hikes,” said one senior refining executive, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity.

最有意思的是这个：9 { N/ v7 b# x1 p( U% l
“炼油厂有时会推迟维护工作以提高利润。 例如，炼油公司高管雷蒙德·布鲁克斯(Raymond Brooks)在周一的财报电话会议上对投资者表示，马拉松石油公司(Marathon Petroleum)将其洛杉矶炼油厂焦化装置的工作推迟了几周，以利用强劲的利润环境。”
9 E" z7 H& x5 r2 S7 B0 tRefiners sometimes delay maintenance work to boost profits. For example, Marathon Petroleum deferred work on its coker unit at its Los Angeles refinery by a few weeks to take advantage of a strong margin environment, refining executive Raymond Brooks told investors on an earnings conference call on Monday.
